## Canada will rescind a digital services tax to restart US trade talks

Authored by cnn.com

Canada will rescind a digital services tax – a way of taxing online companies – its government said on Sunday, in a bid to restart trade negotiations with the United States.

US President Donald Trump on Friday canceled trade talks between the two countries, blaming the tax that he called “a direct and blatant attack on our Country.”.

In a statement Sunday night, the Canadian government said it was stepping back from the tax to help bring the countries back to the table.

“To support those negotiations, the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States,” according to the statement.

Digital services taxes are a way for countries to tax online services, in contrast to taxes on physical products.

Canada is the top buyer of American goods, importing $349 billion worth last year, according to Department of Commerce data.

Meanwhile, Canada shipped $413 billion worth of goods to the US last year, the third-highest source of foreign goods. »
